ztztas, i hope this clears things up......
in the NPHC we all have a "pledge" (as in oath) and we all "pledge" our lives to our organizations (like pledge allegiance to the flag)..... but when we use the term "pledging" (as in the act of pursing membership) it is synonymous with hazing for us, as someone said earlier and of course hazing is illegal.
most (if not all) of our organizations use the term membership intake to refer to the time frame you were questioning about.
